@susblah So because some idiot thinks he can overtake you, you should move your truck out of the clean track and risk your own life and cargo? And slamming on the brakes on a slippery road also is a fine idea with a heavy cargo....

@susblah The driver of the truck was clearly braking as quickly as he could. As you can see the roads were quite icey. Depending what he was driving he could've been carrying 40,000lbs of cargo. Not exactly easy to stop in the snow without your trailer getting ahead of your cab. He slowed down quite nicely to avoid a worse accident or his trailer jack-knifing. The driver probably survived that gentle bump, it could've been worse if the the truck or trailer had lost control and landed on top of tMore..he car in a ditch.

As far for the truck driving in the middle of the road, we all do the same thing in poor conditions too. We stick in the middle of the dry-tracks regardless of where they are. From the video it looks like everyone else was driving down the middle of the road that day.Less..

@uncletoms I drive a truck too, and you could clearly see, that after the impact the truck stopped almost immediately. If the road would have been slippery, the SUV would have been sliding forward from the impact, but it didn't. And you can clearly see the white lines going exactly beneath the camera and you cannot see the left pillar of the truck. So it most certainly was not in his own lane.
